Key Features of CoffeeScript


CoffeeScript

Transpiles to JavaScript

Same language, better syntax. Use CoffeeScript anywhere JavaScript is used.

Human friendly syntax

Inspired by Ruby and Python, CoffeeScript has a simple, readable, and easy-to-use syntax.

Dynamically typed

Easy to write, easy to read.

Large package ecosystem

CoffeeScript can use any of the 1.3 million+ JavaScript libraries.

Developer happiness

Combine JavaScript's power with your happiness

Multi-paradigm

Use which ever paradigm you want: functional, object-oriented or imperative programming.

Get mentored the CoffeeScript way

Every language has its own way of doing things. CoffeeScript is no different. Our mentors will help you learn to think like a CoffeeScript developer and how to write idiomatic code in CoffeeScript. Once you've solved an exercise, submit it to our volunteer team, and they'll give you hints, ideas, and feedback on how to make it feel more like what you'd normally see in CoffeeScript - they'll help you discover the things you don't know that you don't know.
